PRENATAL WARM-UP

Belly Breathing. You can do this seated, standing, or lying down with knees bent. Whatever you find comfortable today. Next, find a nice chill song and practice the Two-Minute Drill. This is a drill that we do on The BIRTHFIT Prenatal Series. Before and after breaks I will throw on a song and say, "Two-Minute Drill." The class knows to practice laboring positions and breath. So, for two minutes today, I want you to practice inhaling for the count of 6-8 and exhaling for at least 10-12 counts. These exhales should be longer than the inhales and your mouth should be open and relaxed. You can even sigh it out and make some noise if you feel like doing so. Two-Minute Drill: ready go!

Advanced Dead Bug. Perform 8 x 6 Each Side. We do more sets of less reps so that you are not on your back for an extended period of time and we want you up and moving around:)

The rest between each round is 2 minutes but feel free to rest as much as you need between rounds, especially if you are going at your 80% intensity or a little higher. Rest is good!

Today's accessory is a hold similar to the workout. Please pay attention to posture, especially when fatigued. You can choose the weight (medium). Perform 5 rounds of 30s holds and rest as much as you need in between efforts.
